Spain: Unfinished Gaudí church gets permit after 137 years

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — An official building permit has been issued for the unfinished Barcelona church designed by architect Antoni Gaudí 137 years after construction started on La Sagrada Familia Basilica.
Barcelona City Hall says it granted the current builders a work permit that is valid through 2026. The builders say that is enough time to finish raising the landmark Roman Catholic church’s central towers.
Barcelona officials say the city will be paid 4.6 million euros ($
